We've known for some time now that Sega and AM2 were planning a special AM2 video disk for inclusion with Fighting Vipers 2 when the arcade port game goes on sale in Japan on January 18th. AM2 has been a bit shy on the details, though, telling gamers that they'd have to wait and see for themselves the contents of the disk. However, due to a few comments made in an interview, we were made aware that only two games would be shown on the disk.

Now which two games could it be?

A few sources in Japan are indicating that Shenmue 2 will definitely be one of the games. This source, by the way, also indicates that the game is definitely being called Shenmue 2 and just that - the tentative is no longer tentative, apparently.

This should be our first glimpse at the true Shenmue 2 - who knows where all those previous videos of Ryo in Hong Kong were pulled from. Of course, we'll be back on 1/18 with movies for all!

Your father lies dead in your arms, his life cut short at the hands of a sadistic murderer. You are Ryo Hazuki, and it is your duty to seek revenge for your father's death. Utilizing a breakthrough open gameplay system, you can search and interact with nearly everything in the Shenmue universe.
